Chapter 116 - Pill Of Concealmen

”So? Does everyone here agree to have Disciple Yuan as their disciple?” Long Yijun asked them a moment later, and he continued, ”Iʼll be completely honest— his talent is simply too much for us to keep to ourselves, so instead of being selfish, itʼs best if we all contribute to teaching him about the cultivation world for the best results. After all, it might affect his growth negatively if he has only one Master.”

”I have no qualms about that decision,” Bai Ling said with a calm expression on his face.

”Me neither,” Elder Xin said.

Everyone there then turned to look at Elder Shan, who held a hard-to-read expression on her beautiful face.

After a moment of silence, she sighed out loud, ”Fine, Iʼll share him. Although Iʼd rather keep him for myself, what the Sect Master said makes sense. I doubt Iʼll be able to train someone as talented as him properly, and Iʼll only slow down his progress.”

Sometime later, Long Yijun and the other sect elders there handed Yuan their communication jade slip so that Yuan could communicate with them whenever he wanted.

”By the way, is there anything that I need to do now that I have accepted all of you as my Master?” Yuan asked them. ”What about the lectures?”

”We do give private lectures to our disciples every month and public lectures once a year, but you are not required to attend either of them. If you have any questions regarding cultivation or need resources for cultivation, you can just let us know using the communication jade slip. Furthermore, because you are still only an Outer Disciple, weʼll avoid physically meeting with each other as much as possible since we donʼt normally communicate with disciples in person, and I donʼt want the other disciples thinking that we are favoring you too much, as that might affect the entire sect as a whole.” Long Yijun said to him.

”I understand.” Yuan nodded.

”Hereʼs a few more things before we let you go.” Elder Xuan then handed Yuan two separate medallions.

”The silver medallion will allow you to go to the Treasury Hall and obtain as many resources as you need for your cultivation— just donʼt overdo it, as we donʼt have an unlimited supply of resources. I will speak with the elder in charge there and let him know of your existence to avoid any problems.”

”As for the gold medallion, thatʼll grant you full access to the Profound Pavilion. Iʼll also let the elder in charge of that place know about you.”

”Donʼt lose them; itʼll be problematic if someone thatʼs not supposed to have them gets a hold of them.”

”I wonʼt lose them,” Yuan said with a serious expression on his face.

Sometime later, Elder Shan said to Yuan, ”Come with me, little brother. I still have to give you the pill thatʼll disguise your real cultivation base. However, I donʼt have it on me, so weʼll have to get it in my room.”

”Okay…” Yuan nodded innocently without thinking too much about it.

However, Elder Xin blocked Yuanʼs path and said to Elder Shan, ”You can go back by yourself and return here once you have the pill. I donʼt trust you one bit with him, especially if youʼll be alone with him. Who knows what youʼll do to this innocent boy when youʼre alone with him.”

”Haaa… You are thinking too lowly of me, Elder Xin. Do you really believe that I would lay my hands on my own disciple?” Elder Shan sighed with a disappointed look on her face, and she continued, ”Despite my character, I am still a maiden, you know?”

”Hmph!” Elder Xin coldly snorted, not even bothering to answer her.

”Fine… Iʼll be right back…” Elder Shan shook her head before leaving the building.

While Elder Shan left to grab the pill, Long Yijun handed Yuan a medallion of his own and said, ”This is the Absolute Authority medallion, and only the Sect Master can hand it out. As long as you have this, nobody in the sect will dare to touch you. However, donʼt go flaunting it every chance you get and only use it during emergencies, and of course, donʼt lose it.”

”Thank you,” Yuan nodded as he tossed another medallion into his Spatial Ring.

Once Elder Shan returned a few minutes later, she handed Yuan a black pill the size of a fingernail.

”Eat this and nobody but Spirit Masters and above will be able to tell your real cultivation base,” Elder Shan handed him the pill.

[Pill of Concealment] [Tier 2] [Purity: 92%]

[Effects: Temporarily conceals your cultivation base by 7 levels for 30 days]

[Description: Only works if you are below Spirit Master]

After tossing the pill into his mouth and swallowing it with the help of some water, Yuan could feel his aura being suppressed, yet his strength remained the same.

”There— now youʼre only a 7th level Spirit Apprentice, just enough to qualify as an Inner Disciple,” Elder Shan said afterward.

Sometime later, Long Yijun opened another portal to the disciple examination and said to Yuan, ”Once you return to the examination, just enter the gate behind the Tablet of Comprehension and youʼll be teleported to the gathering area where everyone that has passed the examination will be gathered. Hereʼs your token; itʼs proof that you have passed the disciple examination.”

”Although we wonʼt see each other for a while, weʼll always be watching over you, so go ahead and enjoy life as a disciple until the Mystic Realm,” Elder Xuan said to him.

”Good luck, Brother Yuan.” Bai Ling said to him.

”Try not to cause too much trouble.” Elder Xin said with a smile.

Lastly, Elder Shan said to him before kissing the palm of her hands and blowing it towards his direction, ”If you are ever feeling lonely, come find me at Blossom Peak.”

”I will see you all later, Seniors. Thank you for everything so far.” Yuan bowed to them before entering the portal and disappearing from the room.
